Nickel Cadmium batteries, (abbreviated NiCd) are 1.2 volt rechargeable batteries, very commonly used today in many consumer electronic devices. They are often used in radios and flashlights but of course in a host of many other products too.

C NiCD’s have a low self-discharge rate. That means that compared to cells with a standard discharge rate, C NiCD’s discharge some of their power when not being used, at a slower pace.

It should be noted though, that C NiCDs can experience “memory effect”. Memory effect means “reduced total battery capacity when a battery is charged before it has been fully discharged”. Recharging before empty, causes the battery to “remember” its’ now lower capacity limit so when charging your C size NiCd’s, it’s best to wait until the batteries have been completely drained of power before re-charging. In this way, you will not reduce the overall power limit of the battery, protecting your investment, as well as the performance of the batteries.
